Tasks:

In your green book make a mind map of adjectives (describing words) for Red Riding Hood.

Think about words for her appearance (what's on the outside, what she looks like) and her personality (what they are like on the inside eg. kind, mean.)

2) Use the words from your list to write sentences about Little Red Riding Hood. Can you use an expanded noun phrase? 

An expanded noun phrase adds more detail to the noun by adding one or more adjectives. An adjective is a word that describes a noun.
